Gather up some friends and sit down for a traditional Swiss meal: Cheese Fondue. The Swiss created this famous dish centuries ago as a way to combat to Switzerland's frigid winters. Cheeses such as Emmental and Gruyere were a major part of the Swiss diet, and were universally enjoyed in the mild months. However, as Winter approached it became more difficult to serve cheese at an ideal temperature. The Swiss discovered that by heating and melting the cheese in a pot over a flame, the result was a hearty, tasty meal. Over the years, Fondue became quite popular throughout Switzerland and France, with hundreds of variations on the original recipe, making the dish even more interesting. Create your own Fondue recipe in your home with this classic stoneware cheese fondue set, complete with all the necessary utensils.

This stoneware cheese fondue made a lovely presentation on the table. The recipe included with the stoneware was scrumptous. The capacity was extremly adequate and the cleanup was a breeze. My one irritation with the product was, there should have been at least one gelled fuel container included to complete the set. We did purchase a fuel container from another source and enjoyed our cheese fondue thoroughly. Thanks!
